Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says Ferrari’s crisis is bad for Formula 1, and believes the Italian team will be fighting at the top of the grid in 2022.
Ferrari has endured a very difficult year in 2020, but seems to be regaining its form in 2021. Toto Wolff believes they will again fight at the top of the grid in 2022.
“I assume that Ferrari can fight for the world title in 2022,” the Austrian told Speedweek.
“We need a championship next season with ideally four or five winning teams, and Ferrari has to be one of those teams.
“Ferrari has a strong driver duo. They have recovered from the weak 2020 season and gained significantly.

“Hopefully they will be at the front in 2022 against Red Bull McLaren, us, Aston Martin and whoever. The more teams, the more interesting for the fans.”
Wolff adds Ferrari’s rise will be good for Formula 1.
“[When] Ferrari are in crisis, that’s bad for the whole of Formula 1. Ferrari is an icon among the brands, and they should be at the front.
“No one from Ferrari or the fans deserves such a result,” concluded Wolff.
